All change for summer

What's happening in the library?

Well, winter seems to be about over so it's time for a library make-over.  They do say that women and bairns* shouldn't see half done work but here's a wee* peek at the changes in progress.

 

Watch this space to see the finished new look.

CHARITY BOOK DRIVE

During our Book Week let's make this a time of giving. We are fortunate to have ready access to books, DVDs and all kinds of media. Many are not so fortunate. During Book Week boxes will be placed in every English classroom as well as the reception area in A building and the library for you to donate used textbooks, books and DVDs.
Everything collected will be donated to either TESOL Arabia who collect for schools in countries such as The Sudan and Afghanistan or to The Mission to Seafarers who offer books and DVDs to sailors who often don't step foot on dry land for many months at a time.

Books and DVDs can be in any language but please be sure that they are in good condition.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO READ TO YOU?
Teachers have been volunteering to hold reading sessions in the gardens during break times in Book Week. If there is anyone you would like to listen to, email me and we will see what we can do.
